Ichi is a New Haven Oyster Sharpie. She is 16 ft and her beam is 5ft. She was built in 1986 at the Sound School in New Haven, CT and named Number One. She was designed by E.I Schock, Mystic Seaport Marine Historical Association. Erik Brown restored her in 2006 and brought the boat to Olympia. He gifted her to Finn McClure, a former sailing student of his in January of 2016. The stem had completely rotted away and the varnish and paint had peeled off. The caulking had also come out. Finn, with the help of his father, repainted and re-varnished the boat, made a new stem, and re-caulked the hull and the deck. The boat was rechristened Ichi. She was re-launched on the First Day of Summer, 2016 in Olympia, Washington where she now sails in Budd Inlet.
